Two more additions to the list:
Jerry Goldsmith - 1990 - Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Shirley Walker - 1992 - Memoirs of an Invisible Man
Confirmed via email from MV.
Like he said in this thread, almost everything they released in the 90s they retained perpetuity rights to.
I believe they have perpetuity rights to the first Matrix score by Don Davis as well

There's actually not much more to Invisible Man than you'd think.

Unless there was score dropped from the film, alternates, and if Jack Nitzsche recorded his score then there's a whole other score to be released.

I remember when I was younger thinking there was a ton of music left off of Memoirs, but after watching the movie again (I know, right?), all the major stuff is on there. There's probably less than 10 minutes missing, and it's short, transitional cues for the most part. Great score anyway.

Yeah, yeah, we get it.
Whatever happens with the others (of which I'm personally interested in several), something's going to need to be done with Star Trek: Nemesis or it'll be the odd one out, once the moratorium on new Trek stuff due to this summer's film ends and GNP gets around to re-releasing Insurrection.
If Varese does Nemesis itself, maybe it'll set a precedent for revisiting others going forward. If they license it out to LLL or Intrada, that would set an even better precedent. There's no reason to let some of those scores gather dust in Varese's basement while there's money to be made, so if VS would rather focus on other titles (understandable), let them license some of their catalogue to the other labels, if they're willing (and I think we know they would be).
Without even needing to go back and re-watch that list of films, I know for a fact I'd buy a complete Gremlins 2 (feels like an Intrada), Air Force One (LLL), The Abyss (Intrada), Back to the Future 3 (Intrada), Volcano (LLL), U.S. Marshals (that'd be a good fit for LLL, as they've already done The Fugutive), Aliens (Intrada)... and probably The Iron Giant (Intrada) and Hot Shots Part Deux (LLL). If I went back and watched them all to refresh the scores in my mind, who knows how many more I'd buy? Varese has nothing to lose; all the risk would be assumed by the label licensing the work.

Don't forget Back To The Future Part 3.
If I remember right I emailed Roger about Intrada doing that score and he told me Varése owns the rights in perpetuity.
nuthin' wrong with the VS release
(unless you're a c&c nut job)

The other labels should worry less about what Varese owns in perpetuity, and concentrate more on stuff that they themselves have apparently disowned in perpetuity, like the great original soundtracks of Frank Skinner.
who????

I really don't understand why "Aliens" keep apearing in wish lists after Varese released the (still available) Deluxe edition in 2001 which includes, as far as I know, the complete score as recorded by James Horner with a fantastic sound! I know that the drum beats at the preparations in the cargo bay is missing but that supposedly is library music replacing the too optmistic music Horner composed. Other than that only the music taken from Alien is not included.
In fact this is one of the few Delixe editions that Varese released that I think is actualy complete (Omen I and III, Poltergeist II and many others are missing music).
From the Alien series the only thing that need to be found and released is the Alien 3 score, that supposedly got damaged/destroyed, but I still have hopes that LLL might find a suitable source and release it.
Back to the topic, the recent Die Hard 2 increased my hopes for other Varese titles like Predator 2, Robocop 3, Gremlins 2, The Abyss and others. I suspect we will see one of these "perpetuity" titles expanded in each of the next Club releases.
On Psycho II, I think it was mentioned by MV that it was not one of the titles Varese had in perpetuity, but I might be wrong. It remains one of my most wanted grails and I hope Intrada might release it (and Psycho III). If it remains with Varese I'd also welcome it being released as part of their Club/Deluxe releases
